The large. hearted millionaire merchant,
Col. c. Il. Rouss, OF New York City, has
again shown his open-handed generosity, -
this time bis check for round hundred
dollars has been received by The treasurer
of the Friendship Fire Company This
Organization as well as many others Of the
CITY, have before been the recipient Of the
uustintod beneiactions Of this gentleman.
We feel assured that we speak the genuine
sentiments Of Col Rouss when We say that
it gives him great pleasure to bcstow chari-
ties from his great wealth which has been
amassed by indomitabe ceaseless and an
firing energy. These gifts come unsought
and unasked. eyiucing a spontaneous phi
lanthropy upon the part Of the donor woF-
thy of emulation By many Of the misery,
grasping money-mongcrs Of the present
dav. The best wishes of the entire COM
munity, where he spent his young days
wrestling with penury, are with him in his
mercantile race with the giants Of COM
merce in Gotham. If he is spared upon
this terrestrial globe a few decades we pre-
dict that the zenith Of his ambition will be
attained and he will have reached the top
round of the ladder. His name and fame
is already co-exien.ye in the dry goods
world with the thiriy-eIght States Of this
Union IVinchesfer Times.
